I have tried it again and actually it worked fine, except it misses some HAL rules so that the system detects the modem as such (eg. for use with NetworkManager). > usb-modeswitch.rules has no number and as such, no pre-defined precedence on > other rules.

Actually, I have already made ozerocdoff conlict with usb-modeswitch, but wanted to ask you before asking for the package to be uploaded but totally forgot in the meantime, sorry about this. Do you think I should remove this conflict? I do agree with your comment, but would personally rather bet on safety and make these packages conflict. What do other think?
